Past, Present, Future

Originally built in 1915 for the Royal Flying Corps, this impressive Grade-II listed building connected Bristol to the world. Now this beautiful brick-built structure will have a new lease of life as a local, sociable community hub in the heart of Brabazon.

Designed with Filton Airfield's history in mind, the layout will echo the atmosphere of mid -century airport lounges with huge windows that bask the space with light.

At a time when flying was a thrill and a luxury, the historic Hangar 16U was a centre for innovation that shaped the future of flight. Once open, The Hangar will be a warm and welcoming venue which hopes to become a landing place for the local community.

Eat, Drink, Unwind

A much-loved local independent bakery will be serving freshly baked pastries, sandwiches and delicious seasonal coffee in our bustling yet airy open-plan cafe, the perfect place to turn on flight mode and catch up with friends or family.

Overlooking the 15-acre Brabazon Park, the area will open up onto a lively public square populated with pop-up markets and street food stalls.

Equivalent to the size of Castle Park, Bristol's new green space will feature a 2.5 acre lake with a floating boardwalk, heritage trail and children's playground - the perfect place to relax, play and unwind.

Health & Wellbeing

Stay active at our community-focused fitness centre. More
than just a gym, the centre will offer a variety of exercise classes, as well as state-of-the-art cardio machines and weight-training facilities.

Our activity rooms will also host a range of groups from antenatal classes to dance workshops, with community wellbeing at the heart of our social calendar.

Bristol's Exciting New Event Space

The Hangar's large and flexible event space will host a
line-up of community-focused activities as well as being
available to hire for private events.

Perfect for public meetings, conferences and parties - this buzzing new venue will be a place to make memories and connections.
